Lance Cpl. Shakeel Bovell fires an M1014 shotgun in a breaching stance during a shotgun tactical proficiency range at Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan, Sept. 25, 2018. Combat engineers with 1st Platoon, Bravo Company, 9th Engineer Support Battalion, 3rd Marine Logistics Group, practiced ballistic breaching with M1014 shotguns, which are used in operations by holding the weapon away from their body and directly against doorways to shatter locks, hinges and door frames. Combat engineers often augment infantry units during exercises and deployments, which requires tactical proficiency with multiple weapons systems. Bovell, a combat engineer with 1st Plt, Bravo Co, 9th ESB, 3rd MLG, is a native of Tampa Bay, Florida. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Pfc. Mark Fike)
